[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 737987, member: 18958"] Hi tired out. I agree with everything you say except want to add this. I do think there are people who are wrong. I believe that with all my heart. Just as they believe I am wrong. If I do not identify them as wrong I will not have a chance to oppose what they do and to protect my values, interests, and well being. And the same with them. What others do to voice their beliefs and protect and extend their interests, I respect. I have had friends and do now with antithetical views to mine. We avoid politics but not completely. When it comes up I smile. Kind of like here. I do not think most people here dislike me because I might hold different beliefs. Nor I them. But if we articulated our views here, some would find them wrong. That is why the boundaries make sense. Why go there? The issue is the tenor of the discourse. When it becomes mean, violent, ugly, deceptive, abusive of power, corrupt, or hating, it is wrong. And I for one need to find a way to speak and act. But I recognize this is not the place. [/QUOTE]
